OMSAS GPA used for wGPA? 3.55/4.0 calculated as 3.1/4.0 OMSAS

[premed1989]

Hello,

I have a US undergrad with a 3.55/4.0 but based on OMSAS calculation that is only 3.1/4.0 on their "fair" scale. With that said, do schools like Queens and U of T use the OMSAS GPA for their wGPA calculations? If so I'll never make it past screening even with my Master's which (unless I'm wrong) I've read can help. Any input on this? Thanks!

All OMSAS schools use the OMSAS scale for their calculations; it's why the scale exists in the first place. Most people don't have that dramatic a drop but it's not uncommon for the OMSAS GPA to be lower than your undergrad school GPA.
